Explanation:
To find the number of atoms in each specie, we consider the coefficient and the subscript of each of the given atoms.
1. NaCl:
Na = 1 atom
Cl = 1 atom
2. CO₂
C = 1 atom
O = 2 atom
3. O₂
O = 2 atoms
4. C₆H₁₂O₆
C = 6 atoms
H = 12 atoms
O = 6 atoms
For the second part;
1. 2NaCl
Na = 2 atoms
Cl = 2 atoms
2. 3CO₂
C = 3 atoms
O = 6 atoms
3. 4O₂
O = 8 atoms
4. 2C₆H₁₂O₆
C = 12 atoms
H = 24 atoms
O = 12 atoms

The organism would not have to find a partner in order to reproduce.
DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information of a given organisms. Genetic variation is the changes that occur in the genome of an organisms to help an organism adapt well to the environment, however, they might also be disadvantageous. The variation in DNA sequences are useful in building a tree of life because DNA sequences are similar in closely related organisms and less similar in less closely related organisms.
